The Protestant Reformation
The Reformation significantly impacted the Northern Renaissance by fostering a spirit of inquiry and challenging established religious doctrines, which encouraged humanist scholars to explore new ideas and texts. This shift led to a greater emphasis on individual interpretation of scripture and personal faith, influencing art, literature, and philosophy. Additionally, the Reformation inspired artists like Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein to incorporate religious themes into their works, reflecting both the turmoil and the evolving spiritual landscape of the time. Overall, it catalyzed a wave of intellectual and cultural transformation that reshaped Northern Europe.
